4.0 out of 5 stars Rookie QB scrambles through NFL hostile takeover blitz., 16 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Who knew Boomer could write - well, he had help from Lowell Cauffiel. This is a very good mystery with several challenging twists. Little of the story actually takes place on the field, but enough to keep NFL fans engrossed. "Toss" also focuses on front office politics, high finance and gaming. Its got contrived racial tension, drugs, mafia, amped rookies, lame duck veterans, hookers, shady executives and a murder or two. The reader gets insight into professional football, what makes winners and how talented athletes can be "managed" to defeat. Boomer and Lowell have woven a great tale using the rythm of professional football, a maze of corporate startegies & tactics and a dozen artfully developed characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can you say outstanding?, 1 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Toss is a fascinating read from beginning to end. The twists and turns in the story will keep you gasping for breath with every page. This is not just a book for football fans, it's a book for readers who love a good crime story and a good writer(s) to tell it. Though the dirty secrets of the NFL are a big part of the book, it is the fascinating main character of quarterback Derek Brody that keeps the pages turning. You can't help but wonder just how much of Boomer Esiason is in Derek Brody, which makes it all the better of a read. Esiason (and Cauffiel) has definitely thrown for a touchdown on his first play from scrimmage.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good read, even if you could care less about football, 28 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Toss is a very satisfying read, one that is hard to put down. The research was excellent and the story unfolds quickly, without a lot of boring - and unnecessary - football details. Don't get the wrong idea - there is lots of football 'stuff' in this book and the facts ring curiously true. Most of the events probably really occured, names changed to protect the guilty. Yes, I read North Dallas Fourty. This book is nothing like that. It is told from the rookie point of view, by someone still in love with the game. The characters are vivid with gratuitous sex kept to a minimum. This book will be enjoyed by both men and women.
